This is the story of a meeting. That of Eylia and Lou Berry, two passionate people for whom union is often the key to strength. This story begins in high school, when the two Frenchmen meet in a music class. At that time, Eylia, who draws her influences from soul, jazz but also hip-hop and electronic music, realized the power of her voice. Inspired by the work of singers such as Amy Winehouse and Etta James, she discovered her ability to convey emotions through her singing, while exploring her introspective writing. For his part, Lou Berry has experience as an opera soloist. Self-taught, he learned to play the piano, the guitar, the bass, to master production software, and wishes to embrace a career as a singer-songwriter like James Blake or Jordan Rakei.
Both bathed since their youth in the Anglo-Saxon culture, and animated by the desire to give shape to a luminous and poetic music, Eylia and Lou Berry then decide to unite, and from this union is born in 2016 "Blue Sky": a track with a singular soul, which sounds like an evidence. Extracted from an eponymous EP (released by Lou Berry on the label Le Sofa), this track shaped in the shelter of their teenage bedroom seduces well beyond the French borders. Played on foreign radio stations, it quickly propelled the duo into the spotlight. In 2017, Eylia and Lou Berry are invited to share the stage of the famous Black Sea Jazz Festival (Georgia) alongside De La Soul, Jamiroquai or Cory Henry. An experience as early as striking, that they lived in front of a crowd singing in unison the lyrics of their song that accumulates today more than 4 million listens on Spotify alone.
Five years after the release of "Blue Sky" - a period during which they each developed solo projects (including the album Inner World for Lou Berry and the EP Terra Nullius for Eylia) - the two allies are now making their comeback with Eldorado, a new EP created with four hands. Introduced by the ethereal "Vanilla Sky", where Eylia's voice flies over a layer of guitars, this eight-track album plunges us into a melancholic atmosphere with "Healed". A little further on, "Too High", "By Your Name" and "Take It Slow", marked by funk and pop accents, take us on a more cheerful ground, proving the ability of the binomial to go from darkness to light in no time. Not to mention "Liquid Imagination" and "Circles" which close the EP on a very sunny note. As bewitching as warm, Eldorado is a project in the shape of a fervent reunion. With it, Eylia and Lou Berry clarify the contours of their music, both nostalgic and modern, bewitching and comforting, and immerse us a little deeper into their inner world. A world made of blue dreams and love stories, where voices become one, and melodies become poems.
